Scientists have found that this flame retardant chemical found in many common objects could greatly damage your fertility.
Scientists at Harvard University have just published a study warning that many common objects in your household may be harming you fertility. Yoga mats, sofas, and even car seats all contain a common flame-retardant chemical that could be preventing people from getting pregnant, the study claims.
The findings, published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, examine organophosphate flame retardants (PFRs), which is a class of chemicals used in many everyday objects to make them less flammable. But they may contain a hidden danger, with the study reporting that those with the chemicals in their urine were 10 percent less likely to achieve fertilization.
In addition, they were: 31 percent less likely to have a successful embryo implantation; 41 percent less likely to get pregnant; and 38 percent less likely to have a live birth.
The full statement from Harvard follows below.
